Mike Bullene ‏@12thManM1ke 45m@TDESPN Though, you did say the other night you cannot win the SB riding a defense. Even though you are literally the poster child for that. --twittered back at dilfer after he tried to slam hawks fans.

Awesome! And what makes it even sweeter is when you remember that Harbaugh was Sherm's coach at Stanford and made Sherm switch to cornerback, with the intent of him not even earning a starting position, necessarily. Or something along those lines haha...

Yeah, this does seem like it could be the case. If the NFL is bound by administrative law in the way they carry out proceedings, then as soon as a person's administrative avenues for appeal are exhausted then they can petition for judicial review. Upon doing that, a temporary restraining order can be filed that would almost surely be granted, and then a longer injunction could be granted if his lawyers could convince the court that he has a meritorious case.

Unfortunately there's pretty much no transparency with this process, so I'm not sure if that's applicable or not. But that's how it works with other governing boards over professions.

Boz tried to be that mouth piece, but didn't back it up on the field. My favorite Boz memory, however, is when the Hawks played in Denver, where fans wore Boz busters tshirts by the thousands. Those shirts were actually financed by Boz.

The Boz. He was in a league of his own. Sherman comes nowhere close. If Boz had used Twitter (if it had existed) I would have archived every tweet he made for posterity. Incredibly smart guy, very funny, and could get under people's skin like nobody else that ever played the game.

Boz led the team in tackles. He was a very good player. He led a very very good defense. He played with one arm and still recorded over 100 tackles by most counts (it was before it was a league stat). He was also great at shooting gaps and getting in the QB's head. I remember one time he shot through the middle and nailed Todd Blackledge so hard that he had zero time to react and his helmet popped off and his face was covered with blood. No other LB in the league could have done what he did on that play. By his second season his other shoulder was shot, and then his career was over. He backed it up plenty and had guys suit him up and he played basically armless football. I have nothing but respect for the man and always will. Nobody gave it more than Bosworth to play through a situation that was just not feasible. 99.999999% of the players wouldn't have even tried. But for the last season he played he couldn't even put his own uniform on. He was a tough SOB.
